Sie wird seit Jahrzehnten gebaut und ist der Inbegriff von General Aviation Flugzeug, die Cessna 172. In ein paar Tagen wird Airfoillabs die mit der Garmin G1000 Suite ausgestattete Cessna 172NG veröffentlichen. Die Featurelist ist lang und die Erwartung hoch, kein Wunder das die Study-Level Cessna sehnlichst erwartet wird.
Im Grunde ist sie fertig, so Airfoillabs auf Facebook. Wir testen nur nochmal alle Funktionen und dann wird sie in ein paar Tagen für ca. 50$ in den X-Plane.org Shop kommen. Die Produktseite ist schon freigeschalten, das letzte Development Update findet ihr hier. Im Preis ist die Lizenz für die X-Plane 12 Umsetzung bereits enthalten, so dass mit Erscheinen der neuen X-Plane Version keine Updatekosten auf den Käufer zukommen werden.
Die C172NG wurde von Grund auf neu erstellt und ist optisch mit allen aktuellen Gimmicks ausgestattet. Neben einer sehr detaillierten Motorumsetzung , inklusive Betriebsmittel-Management, wird auch eine komplette Fehlersimulation mitgeliefert. Insgesamt wurden 175 Bauteile mit entsprechenden Daten versehen, diese können dann in 30 Szenarien Fehler aufweisen. Dies alles wird von über 320 Sounds auditiv begleitet. Alles weitere entnehmt bitte der angehängten Featurelist.
Für das erste Quartal ist zu dem eine Analoge Version der C172NG geplant.
